Uff not a good look for OP. Correct in the malicious behavior of the instance but downplaying the atrocities is not right.
Regarding their comment on visiting concentration camps. People have visited. And the message is that even though the scale is now smaller in Gaza, it’s still wrong and the Israeli government is antisemitic in acting in the same methods the jewish people have been oppressed in history. In popular culture even the Polish film The Zone of Interest is related.
Oh shit I’ve missed the meta about that. Very worrisome and that must be handled. It still doesn’t implicate the users of anything.
Edit: I browsed https://lemm.ee/c/meta for the past 9 months and couldn’t see a thread about that. I’d appreciate a link to be able to report such nefarious communities.
Edit 2: If a user were to look for an general instance not associated with assholery, fast performance and timely updates, federating well and a growing user base so it hopefully doesn’t disappear one day, any hints where to look? Filtering https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list to ver 19.3. sorted by uptime and at least 100 users still gives over 70 options and many seem to be focused on niches, geographical areas or certain languages.
You’re also commenting from an instance known for conservative & reactionary “management”, but I don’t think anybody should associate you with them just from a click on an instance home page.
